I'm wondering if the fact that "1." in running text is the standard way of writing "erste" is influencing you. How about this? Recipe for a cake (very simple): (1) Stir the butter until soft (2) Add sugar and stir until absorbed by butter (3) Add eggs and stir until mass turns lighter in color (4) Add flower and stir slowly until absorbed -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan@ccil.org One of the oil men in heaven started a rumor of a gusher down in hell. All the other oil men left in a hurry for hell. As he gets to thinking about the rumor he had started he says to himself there might be something in it after all. So he leaves for hell in a hurry. --Carl Sandburg
